    Ooops! Didn't manage to get back on after my 3rd HHC yesterday afternoon!

    Spent 40 minutes on the phone to Tax Credits - over half of that on hold and 90% of the rest of it repeating information they already have! By the time I got off the phone I had to dash for the school run then was non-stop with dinner, dailies, mom popping in, etc. Still, at least our renewal is done now so thanks, Dusty, for putting that on the list.

    Was shattered last night so went to bed early and finished my book and started the second one. And been at work today so lets see how bad my lists are looking as a result...

    The FROG I tackled today was to move the printer onto the desk, rearrange the desk and begin sorting the paperwork on it. That's also a veggie sausage pie in oven for me and one for the mother, and a half hour sit down while it bakes.

    What's with the crazy view on some of the pages on this thread, and on the post page??? Is it just my screen??
